kylix
A kylix is a type of ancient Greek drinking cup, typically made of pottery. It features a shallow bowl with a wide rim and two horizontal handles on either side. Kylixes were often decorated with intricate paintings that depicted scenes from mythology, daily life, or athletic competitions, showcasing the artistry of the time.
These cups were commonly used during symposia, which were social gatherings for drinking and conversation among men in ancient Greece. The kylix allowed for easy sharing of wine and was an important part of the cultural practices surrounding Greek social life and art.
